MAD-X allows a single element definition to be repeated in a LINE definition. For example:

SCH_B02: Sextupole, L=LSH2, K2:=KSH2;
BPM_B02: Monitor;
KDHTB2:=0.0;
DMCH_B02: HKICKER, L=0.0, KICK=KDHTB2;
QSC_B02: MULTIPOLE, KNL:={0,KSC_B02,0};
SSXC_B02: MULTIPOLE, KSL:={0,0,KSSB2_8};
QB2: Line = (DDMCH_X02, DMCH_B02, QSC_B02, SSXC_B02, DDMCH_X02a, BPM_B02, DDMCH_X02b, Q2U, BPM_B02, QTH_B02, Q2D, SCH_B02);

This will output:

...
ssxc_b02, at = 18.92687188;
bpm_b02, at = 19.11879438;
bpm_b02, at = 19.23008388;
qth_b02, at = 19.48008388;
...

When it is read by orbit.teapot.TEAPOT_Lattice, the parser ignores the repeated element. See the SNS AR example here:

MAD-X tunes are 6.23, 6.16, and lattice length is 248.0098418.

[austin-hoover]

Note: in this case there appears to be an error with the MADX lattice definition: BPM_B02 is repeated when defining the beam line. I'm not sure what the default PyORBIT behavior should be in this case. Should we allow duplicate element names?

[austin-hoover]

For now we will allow TEAPOT_Lattice to have duplicate element names, for consistency with MAD-X lattice files.
